Volume 1 – Seismology and Structure of the Earth
Volume 1 provides
an overview of the status of geophysics and is divided into three
parts. Part I is devoted to various aspects of seismic wave propagation
theory, data analysis and inversion methods, and
documents the increasingly important role of numerical
computational methods. Part II addresses the internal
structure from the crust to the core, considering elastic,
anelastic and anisotropic views of the Earth at global
and regional scales. And, Part III reviews mineral physics
and geodynamics to further progress in the understanding
of Earth's internal dynamics and of the forces that
drive plate tectonics by combining constraints from
different disciplines.

Volume 2 – Mineral Physics
Mineral Physics provides the fundamental
information
needed to interpret deep Earth geophysical data in
terms of Earth structure, composition, temperature and
dynamics. Containing 23 chapters and divided into three parts,
this volume contains summaries of what is known
of the mineralogy and chemistry of the deep crust, the
upper mantle, the transition zone, the lower mantle and
the core of the Earth. It also addresses the underlying theory,
techniques, and methods used in mineral physics,
as well as, in the fi nal sections of the volume, reviews

Volume 3 – Geodesy
Geodesy explores the theory, instrumentation
and results from modern geodetic systems. The beginning
sections of the volume cover the theory of the Earth's
gravity field, the instrumentation for measuring the
field, and its temporal variations. The measurements
and results obtained from variations in the rotation of
the Earth are covered in the sections on short and long
period rotation changes. Space based geodetic methods,
including the global positioning system (GPS) and
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR), are also
examined in detail.

Volume 5 – Geomagnetism
Geomagnetism presents various aspects of the magnetic
field of Earth. After an overview, topics covered include

induction, archeomagnetism, reversals, excursions,

Volume 6 – Crustal
and Lithosphere Dynamics
Volume 6 brings together the results of studies that
are fundamental to our understanding of crust and
lithosphere dynamics. It begins with a discussion of
plate kinematics and mechanics. Then it considers the
evidence from surface heat fl ow, stress measurements,
and magmatism for the thermal and mechanical
structure of the lithosphere. Finally, consideration is given to
the structural styles of faulting, the deformation
of the crust and lithosphere in extensional (e.g. rifting)
and compressional (e.g. mountain building) regions,
and the implications of plate mechanics for sedimentary
basin evolution.

7 – Mantle Dynamics
Mantle Dynamics provides an in-depth overview of the
field of mantle dynamics in its present state. It surveys
the physics and fl uid dynamics of mantle convection,
with theoretical, laboratory and computational methods. The volume
also reviews the present understanding of
convection in Earth's mantle, including energy sources
and thermal evolution, upper-mantle fl ow, the fate of
subducting slabs, hotspots and mantle plumes, and
convective mixing and mantle geochemistry.

Volume 8 – Core
Dynamics
This volume is a connected account of the dynamics at
the heart of our planet. The range of subjects refl ects the
breadth and the fast pace of research in core dynamics.
Topics include structure and composition of the outer and
inner core, energetics of the core, convection, rotation,
flow and turbulence in the outer core, solidifi cation of the
inner core, dynamo theory and numerical dynamo models,
magnetic polarity reversals, laboratory experiments
on the core and the geodynamo and the interactions
between the core and the other parts of the Earth.

Volume 9 – Evolution of the Earth
Volume Nine focuses on the formation of Earth, core
and continents, outgassing and volcanism, development
of plate tectonics, origin and persistence of Earth's
magnetic field, growth of the inner core, changes in
mantle convection through time, and impact of biology.
The emphasis is on an interdisciplinary viewpoint that
emphasizes the interplay of geophysics with other
aspects of earth science and evolution. An effort is
made to identify the areas where current knowledge is
incomplete and alternative histories are possible.

Volume 10 – Planets and
Moons
Planets and Moons covers topics relating to the physics
of the major planetary bodies in the solar system,
starting with an introductory description of the solar
system and collection of pertinent data, continuing
with a discussion of the early history of the planets,
and finishing with articles about planet dynamics,
thermal evolution of planets and satellites, the thermal
evolution of planets and satellites, descriptions of their
magnetic fields, and the processes that generate these.
In addition to providing a review on the solid planets and
the satellites, this volume addresses the interactions of
the solid surfaces with the atmospheres as well as the
roles of water and ice to shape the surfaces.
